don’t forget to…

Ahhh, it’s Labor Day weekend! What are your plans? Mine involve eating lots of my dad’s bbq and probably one of the only times I will eat a hamburger… Oh no, does this mean that summer is officially over?!

I still have a few weeks left before I have to officially say my goodbyes to summer. Sigh…it’s actually bittersweet. I’m really looking forward to the start of Fall, but I’ve fallen in love with the laziness that is summer and can’t seem to say goodbye without feeling a bit sad. I’m going to miss those days where I do nothing, and stay up late treating myself to hours of “Say Yes to the Dress” on Netflix and watching Real Housewives of New Jersey/NY/OC/Atlanta/Bev. Hills on tv.

Most of all, I’m going to miss the moments where I got to lounge around and do absolutely nothing with my boyfriend. Our summers…it started off as “the summer of ‘Boyfriend’ (ie. insert fictitious name) & Kat”, then the summer of “‘Boyfriend’ & Kat do Europe”, and now it’s definitely the summer of “she cooks, he eats”. Yes, I really did name our summers…it came from the amazing George Costanza (you know, the “summer of George”?)!!

This summer involved lots of cooking, lots of eating, and lots of food-induced comas! This is definitely one of my favorite summers together :)

You might not know this, but my Friday Favorites are a reflection of some of my favorite moments together. Here’s a few of my favorites from the week…

Favorite way to spend the morning:

Have you said your summer goodbyes yet? What were some of your favorite moments and highlights this summer? Please do share!

Weekend filled with stock car racing and old episodes of “Lost” (we didn’t watch it the first time). Oh, and Chinese take-out, which is SO wrong on Labor Day weekend (cook-out scheduled Monday, though). Enjoy it!

Hey Kat! Thanks for your lovely comment. I’m not sure what the beans are called in english but I was just as surprised as you. Never seen anything like them before :)! If you have time, come and say hi!
